The Information We Collect and How We Use It
When you visit and use the Site, we gather certain information to help us better serve you. The information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit the Site.

Except as described in this Privacy Statement, we do not sell, rent, share or disclose the personally identifiable information that you provide to us (which is information that can be used to identify you individually) with any other organization. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.

Currently, ARCO coffee sends personally identifiable information to third-party service providers that work on our behalf to provide services relating to the ongoing maintenance and operation of the Site.

Some of our employees have access to customer information only in order to serve customers or maintain our information systems. These employees are subject to our corporate privacy policy.

Please be aware that we may disclose any information you provide to us (including personally identifiable information) in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, to respond to any claims or to protect our rights, property or personal safety, or that of our customers or the public.

Information We Automatically Collect
Some information is automatically collected when you visit the Site. We collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the internet, the internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, the browser software you use and your operating system, the date and time you access the Site, and the internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to the Site.

We use this information to monitor the Site and provide us with the ability to enhance our customers' shopping experience by serving up relevant content and to determine aggregate information about usage patterns.

We use cookies to enhance the browsing and shopping experience on the Site. "Cookies" are small files or records that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on the Site.

You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off your computer's ability to receive cookies. If you refuse cookies, you will not be able to open a shopping cart on the Site, and therefore will not be able to complete an order with us online.

ARCO coffee uses pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online advertising. These GIF files are provided by our ad management partner.

The cookie was placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with DoubleClick.

With both cookies and Spotlight technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
